JAMMU, Aug 31: The committee on subordinate legislation of Jammu and Kashmir Legislative Assembly on Thursday directed the officers of education department to come up with the legislation for regulating the private coaching institutions to be taken up during ensuing Assembly session.

The Committee also recommended amendment in the Education Act, 2002 so that the private coaching institutions could be brought under the ambit of the Act, an official spokesman said.

He said the committee, met under the chairmanship of legislator Prof Chaman Lal Gupta, also suggested revision of SRO 123 of March 18, 2010 to make it more comprehensive and student friendly.

The Committee urged the concerned authorities to frame rules for regulating the functioning of private coaching institutions being run in the state, the spokesman said.

He said that the senior officials briefed the committee about the measures taken by the department of education for regulating the functioning of these institutions.

Source said that there are about 25,000 governments as well as private schools in Jammu region and many of the private institutions do not follow the directions of DSE. Many students said that the schools have become the money chargers.
“Majority of private schools are holding their usual classes and one of the private higher secondary school even hold classes during entire summer vacation for 8th, 10th, 11th and 12th classes. It has become a routine for some private schools to hold classes on holidays.

This puts a lot of pressure on children”, alleged local residents.

Parents of students of private institutes has alleged that despite charging hefty amount of money on the name of tuition and other annual charges no facility is being given to students in school.

Even safety norms set by authorities are been flouted openly. Parents of students demanded that such schools violating norms should be derecognized.
